looking at the videos the only thing that really dissapoints me is that passing to an angle your players isnt exactly facing is still too easy and still looks akward. it seems like their leg swings towards another angle then the ball is actually going, most of the times when u look at the replay afterwards u see this isnt the case, but even there it still looks unnatural.
first off all the pass should be WAY less accurate. and the player should swing his whole body into the passing move. he should also be forced to put his leg more behind it so he can do his best effort at making the ball get to the other player at this weird angle, maybe even fall down after the pass if you click to fast.
fixing this will force the user to choose the simple solution first, and not allways go forward. strikers will have a harder time collecting passes just like in reall matches.
i feel very strong about this. i really hope they realize in time for the release how unrealistic this looks and feels, its really arcade and fifa like.
for those who do not know what i mean, i will clock some times when it happends in the video's:
(Vid1)1:40/2:21 This one looks so/so, but its seems a bit too easy he hasnt even controlled the ball yet manages to shoot the ball with that kinda speed exactly in his teammates foot without first looking up from the ball.
(Vid1)3:50 This one looks really off. the player should at least LOOK like hes having trouble passing that one. if someone in reality would perform it like this his knees would bump against eachother.
in reality, konami, u would first hang to the back, then move up your arms for balancing(left arm high, right arm low), then put your feet back below your right hand and make the pass.
(Vid2)0:17 His right foot is way to near to the ball to produce such power in that pass, also his lefty doesnt go backwards enough. again the player should first have a look towards where he is going to pass.
(Vid2)1:30/1:38 Too quicly performed making it look unnatural.
in reality the player would first look and give the ball a little tick so to distance between him and the ball is enough to give it a powerfull swing.
i think u get the point by now..
